Description

This book will address the current state of climate change predictions, and how climate change will affect conservation and use of crop germplasm, both ex situ and in situ. In addition, specific examples of germplasm research related to ''climate change threats'' will be highlighted. Such activities need to take place under a regime of access to and use of germplasm through international conventions and treaties.
